    I don’t know how to feel about this. One one hand, fuck social media. On the other, kinda feels like stripping of freedom. But in this case, what is social media? Isn’t this technically social media also?

    I remember spending so much time on IRC and forums communicating with others online and learning a lot. It wasn’t like this garbage Facebook crap of these days, though.

    And how can it possibly be enforced without privacy invasive age verification techniques? Or government owned firewalls filtering and monitoring all traffic?

      I think a fundamental misunderstanding is that the children will be prosecuted for violating these laws. The laws exist to hold the suppliers to account.
